Janne Heß fcc95ff817 treewide: Fix all Nix ASTs in all markdown files 
This allows for correct highlighting and maybe future automatic

Installing behind a proxy

To install NixOS behind a proxy, do the following before running nixos-install.

  1. Update proxy configuration in /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix to keep the internet accessible after reboot.

    {
  networking.proxy.default = "http://user:password@proxy:port/";
  networking.proxy.noProxy = "127.0.0.1,localhost,internal.domain";
}

  2. Setup the proxy environment variables in the shell where you are running nixos-install.

    # proxy_url="http://user:password@proxy:port/"
# export http_proxy="$proxy_url"
# export HTTP_PROXY="$proxy_url"
# export https_proxy="$proxy_url"
# export HTTPS_PROXY="$proxy_url"

::: {.note} If you are switching networks with different proxy configurations, use the specialisation option in configuration.nix to switch proxies at runtime. Refer to for more information. :::
